Sea Otter Classic April 20-23, 2023
This really is a classic cycling event as it has been going on since 1991 in the Monterey, California area. It is the largest open to the public cycling events in the U.S. that celebrates all aspects of cycling from racing to fun rides to an expo with all the latest bikes.
It is held at the Laguna Seca Raceway in the hills just outside of Monterey and it really is a spectacle with the road racers on the raceway, mountain bike racers zipping by on the nearby trails, and the busy expo in the center.
One of the highlights of the Sea Otter Classic expo is the ability to test ride the many electric and non-electric bikes that are available. Make sure you stop by the Denago booth (P72) to check out the latest eBikes. Plus there is so much other bike gear to checkout around the show.
There are group ride tours happening that are open to eBikes and they travel through some of the beautifully scenic areas around Monterey.
Speaking of scenic rides there is the famous “17 Mile Drive” at Pebble Beach that has some great ocean views and it is open to eBikes. There are also some great bike paths that wind along the coast and beach areas near Fishermans Wharf area.
At the Sea Otter Classic there are also so many racing events to checkout, including an electric mountain bike race! Below are the races that will be happening:
Mountain Bike Racing
- Cross Country
- Downhill
- Dual Slalom
- Enduro
- eMTB
Road Racing
- Road Race
- Circuit Race
- Gravel Race
There are also kids events and races happening too. Never too early to get out and have fun on 2 wheels!
Here is a video recap of the 2022 Sea Otter Classic to give you an idea of what it is like:
There are a lot of hotel and vacation rental options in Monterey and the surrounding areas. Camping at the Laguna Seca Raceway is also an option if you want to be super close to the event and in the action.
There is a regional airport in Monterey that is pretty easy to fly in and out of.
Monterey is a fun town to check out and some of the big highlights are the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, whale watching tours, and more.
Monterey and Carmel have a great selection of restaurants (lots of seafood), coffee shops, breweries, and wineries to check out.
You can really make a nice vacation out of attending the Sea Otter Classic.
